THIS AND THAT; BLOG NUMBER 2016 ; JAN 22, 2016

THE MESSAGE:


DOMESTIC TERRORISM STATISTICS IN THE USA

Someone calculated somehow that one in 3.5 million is an American's  annual risk of dying from a terrorist attack in the United States.  That works out to approximately  0.00003 percent.

But according to a New York Times poll,  51 percent worried that they or someone in their family could become a victim of domestic terrorism.

Do the math! 
51 percent of Americans  think a terrorist attack against themselves is sufficient enough to warrant some personal concern, even tho' there is only a 0.00003 percent chance it might actually happen. That works out to each American overestimating 'hes' (my new word for his or her) personal exposure to terrorism by a factor of approximately 1.7 million. 'Power Ball' here they come! 



THE DREADED FEDERAL TAX

























Someone somewhere doesn't like Bernie Sander's ideas for the new order. I wonder if Hillary took this picture. There are many ideas for new taxation rules both in Canada and the USA. Most candidates have their own but similar views. 

Clinton declares that Sander's plan would transfer Medicare, Medicaid,  the Children's Health Insurance Program [CHIP], the Affordable Care Act, health-care insurance and private employer health insurance and  all health insurance programs to the mandate of state governors. Her statement has been ridiculed by many.


The Prime Minister of Canada, has resorted to a constant appeal to help the 'Middle Class' in our country.  There has been a woeful lack of defining just what qualifies a person to be considered a member of this class. The new Liberal Government  has instituted the following Federal Tax Brackets:



Federal tax rates for 2016

  • 15% on the first $45,282 of taxable income, +
  • 20.5% on the next $45,281 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income over $45,282 up to $90,563), +
  • 26% on the next $49,825 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income over $90,563 up to $140,388), +
  • 29% on the next $59,612 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income over $140,388 up to $200,000), +
  • 33% of taxable income over $200,000.
A person earning $40,000 annually pays 15% of taxable income. This is hardly a 'Middle Class' situation and a 15% Federal tax rate on these families is excessive.


THE PARIS CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE

Is climate change just a big hoax perpetrated by greedy jerks who see an opportunity to make more money by exploiting governments to subsidize their 'new technologies'? Developing nations can not 'afford to get on board'  so the tax-payer dollars given to them for this purpose, by naive leaders of countries like Canada, are basically  wasted. The present new technologies, according to Bill Gates, are not where they need to be to help these countries.

Here is a photo taken from the Paris conference that points out the real level of interest in 'Climate Change'.





THE QUESTION:




Shouldn't Tax codes consider a lower, mid, and upper middle class? 





THE LEMON:

TO HILLARY CLINTON (ONCE MORE) for being such a hypocritical, lying, wriggling person in all of her varied roles
